The US Navy's new Director of Communications, Kristina Wong, is a Jan 6 terrorist and an anti-Ukraine, pro-Kremlin mouthpiece. Likely an unregistered foreign agent (spy).

'Europe is not only home to our traditional allies; it is an enviable zone of democracy, wealth and prosperity with which it benefits us to have good relations, and from which we can sometimes learn' Snyder on the new US imperialism open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

So tax breaks for tech bosses and welfare cuts for the disabled

Xavier transitioned and became Vivian Jenna Wilson. She is alive and well and lives in Japan. No loving parent would ever write such a disgusting thing as this, and it speaks volumes.

HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE. "Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—" YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES. "So we can believe the big ones?" YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.

This is completely insane, utterly reprehensible & hideous. Donald Trump has shared a bizarre AI video sharing his vision to turn Gaza into a beach resort complete with a giant golden statue of himself in the heart of a revitalised city devoid of traces of all Palestinian culture

In reality the US has only given $30 billion to Ukraine, the monetary worth of the weapons and nukes Ukraine gave up based on the legal agreement that the US would protect it from aggression is nearly $50 billion. The US failed abide the agreement and owes Ukraine money, not the other way around.

Stephen Fry, "I'm deeply worried about the darkening shadow that's going over the world, the shadow of fascism" Laura Kuenssberg, "You would use that word?" Stephen Fry, "Absolutely. It's a cult of power. And power only speaks to power"

It's amazing some people see multimillionaire Nigel Farage, owned by GB News, owned by Donald Trump, owned by Elon Musk, never worked a real job in his life. A billionaire owned, never a common man. But still they think, he's going to fight for me against the billionaires. 🤣

Upon this response, JK burst into a million shards and a great wind scattered her unhappy soul beneath the arc of a newly formed rainbow.

Gangsters. The US government is no ally of Europe. We should fight Russia off ourselves and give the US nothing.

Stand with science. Always.

The foundation of any resistance movement lies in solidarity, purpose, and unwavering commitment to justice. Transformation begins when collective action overcomes fear and apathy.

You couldn’t make this up. Proud ‘patriot’ Isabel Oakeshott girlfriend to Reform UK’s Richard Tice, is well know for her anti immigrant, anti Muslim & a anti ‘sharia law’, views but she’s moved to Dubai to apparently, avoid Labours Vat on private school. Why do people fall for these grifters

If you look back at history, there were many international commentators who said that Hitler wasn’t serious about the things he was saying. It was all for show.

Really quite extraordinary to see demands for Starmer's resignation, in response to his being open about terrible mistakes that happened between 2017-2024, from the very politicians who were in charge during that time - sometimes at the depts that messed up. ~AA www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/01...

H/t George Conway — it’s perfect 🤣 from Olivia Julianna:

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." Written right there in the Constitution. The President cannot change that with the stroke of a pen.

Ava-Santina, "Don't you love that we've been told that for the past 5 or 6 years that the thing we need to be most frightened of are what pronouns people are using" @AvaSantina "And then someone actually does a Nazi salute behind the President's podium on life television and we're fine with that"

In fairness the resulting fire and explosion might have set off the sprinklers.

On the political and strategic incoherence of Kemi Badenoch 1/...

Sigh. We tried to warn them.

England's children's homes run by private equity rake in millions. Private firms own 83% of homes. Average charge for a child in care is £281,000 a year. Some charge £63,000 a week per child. For-profit homes provide the worse care. End privatisation scam. www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/market...

Russian-born UK citizen & Tory party activist Sergei Cristo fought to make MI5 sit up & take notice of Russian political interference operation threatening democracy in Britain & around the world How my friend Sergei tried to expose the Kremlin plot against Britain By @carolecadwalla.bsky.social

Listen up.

“Your leader Kemi Badenoch said this week there was no plan for how to make Brexit work. You were one of the leading advocates for vote leave. Do you think you should apologise?”

Cuba is a Socialist country and one of the poorest in the world suffering under a 60+ year economic blockade by the richest country in the world. Guess which one has better healthcare, life expectancy, literacy, lower infant mortality and every type of crime. It ain't the USA.

As long as we’re renaming places, I’m renaming ‘Texas’ as ‘Old Mexico.’

OK that’s quite funny.

Over 60 German universities quit social media platform X. Platform accused of failing to uphold values of diversity, freedom, and scholarship.

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky

I don’t know if anyone needs to hear this, but if you’re a parent and your kids go back to school tomorrow, it’s completely normal that you feel totally exhausted. You’re not on your own, you’re not failing, Christmas is a huge amount of work and you deserve a big cup of tea and a biscuit xx

I can’t love this more.

Dear Democrats, Nothing will change until the progressive left is given the chance to lead your party. The 80+ people must pass the torch. Until that happens, I shall keep not blessing you with the outcome you want—victory. Sorry, God

Say it louder

Something something history rhymes something

It was the sound of many women laughing, which is always a disquieting noise to men. - Terry Pratchett, Jingo
